Wei, maybe some of the boys didn't
get full, last Monday evening, and then.
just to show that they didn't care, re-
peated the dose OH Tuesday evening.
1t does look strange that some men viii
allow themselves TO get below the
brutes, and men, too, who have nice
respectable families. But then, when
a man is full of bad whisky, he is hard.
ly man, and should not be held ac-
countable for his acts. j. L. Hall, ouI
present and our future registerof deeds,
was talking politics to our citizens last
Friday aud Saturday. lie has a host of
warm friends about HaZeltoD e. Now,
rs Mayor Peck is a candidate for coun-
~ treasurer, would it not be a good
time for him to tell the Hazelton voters
just why the city council is paying the
Bank of IlazeltOn IS per month for a
council room, when one can be rented
for S2.50Y Straws indicate the way the
wind blows, you know. i. s. Renear
has rented his property in Hazelton,
and will start to Colorado next Tues
day. We will lose one of our best citi-
zens when he leaves us. d. That town.
Ship ticket is giving the republicans lots
Of trouble. They-that is, McPhee and
Haberllne-are very desirous that it be
a fusion or peoples ticket, or any
thing to get votes for treasurer. But
the democrats, while they may not be
able TO elect their men, are willing to
put M ticket, and go before the peo-
pie on their merits, and take what they
can get on election day. A certain re-
publican told man, the other day, to
talk fusion, work for fusion, but vote
the republican ticket. The man he was
talking to happened to be democrat.
I've learn that Mr.. Whitaker has
been taken of of the republican ticket,
to make room for man supposed to be
stronger. Now, we think it would be
a wise measure to follow it up by taking
all the names off except Rouse and Sex
ton. Then they would stand a good
show to elect half their ticket. They
could use Sexton to trade on, as that is
all he was put there for, any way, and
possibly elect Rouse. lie Is the only
strong man they have on the ticket
Then, you see, they could boast of the
fact that they elected all on the ticket
but one imam. But as it now stands
they may trade old George for all there
is in him, and still get left, because
there is not enough of old George to &c
around. Now, while Mr.. Peck is
mayor, and candidate for county treas.
urer, it might be good idea for him to
fJust mention the matter 10 the CITY
council that so per month is a pretty
good salary to pay the city marshal fol
running dray, carrying the mail and
acting as express agent. He ought tc
remember that times are hard. crops
are terrible poor, and election day is or
The 9Th OF November. Not much time
left in which to organize any great re.
form, but he might try it. 1 think {
reform in this way would be real mic,
To tell the voters about when be goe:
out among them. OF course it is rath
or late To begin, but he might date il
away back, so they wouldn't think Ia
had done 1t to catch their votes. An,
then, there is room for reformation OF
other points that we will speak of b.
and by. We don't suppose man cal
break of from all his old habits i'm
day, aud for that reason we will men
ton all these little matters in broker
doses, aud increase them as the patlen
